Requirements

Hi there!
We're starting a new Pool billiards Club in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. We are looking for a logo which will reflect our business and philosphy. The logo will be used for several purposes, like the website, windows, business paper, etc.
The business name is "Plan B".

It's so hard to explain what we'd like but we're gonna try by using some keywords.

Obviously poolstuff like balls, triangles, chalk etc. come to mind and can be used in the design as long as it's not corny. Another thing we were thinking about is using a figure of a pool player breaking off. One of our favorite players is Fransisco Bustamante because of his unique style when breaking the balls (leg almost in his neck, cue bends). However, we're not sure if that would work, so we need input.
It is not an absolute demand to use a pool player figure or a pool ball.

We hope this is enough info to inspire you to participate in this contest. Good luck all!
